Triumph Over Tragedy Episode 2 – Donna and Charity Kirk, and Hope Holmes, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” ~John 15:13

This episode is dedicated to Lt. Trent Kirk and Pvt. Charles Zachary On Father’s Day, July 15th, 2003, tragedy struck the Memphis Fire Department and the loss was felt by many, but none more than my three guests today. Lieutenant Trent Kirk, officer on Engine 10 B-shift, was working overtime at station 31 when they were called to a Family Dollar store for a potential fire. The events that unfolded next would leave an entire city in mourning and Trent’s wife without a husband and his children without a father. It is not a secret that firefighting is dangerous. All that choose to serve understand that in a moment’s notice things can go from seeming to be fine to deadly. However, you could never do the job if you were scared to act when the time called for it. With that in mind, firefighters do the only things they can do. We workout to stay in shape, we train constantly, and we pray that at the end of each day we all make it back home to our families. When the unthinkable happened on that warm evening in 2003 the Kirk family had to figure out how to pick up the pieces and carry on, and carry on they did. Ms. Donna started the nonprofit “Our Fallen Hero’s Foundation”, daughter Hope is now a Paramedic and daughter Charity is now an Ultrasonographer. I feel like I can speak with certainty when I say, Trent would be incredibly proud of how his entire family chose to live their lives with a service to others. It was a true honor to sit with this family and share the moments that brought us all together and honor two fallen heroes.
